UNION CITY, Calif., Aug. 18, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- The atrocities perpetrated against Christians in Muslim nations must stop. Christians are being crucified, beheaded, raped, and enslaved simply because they are followers of Christ.

Christian churches are being burned and destroyed routinely in Muslim nations. To our horror these same Muslim nations are receiving multi billions of American taxpayer dollars. This administration and our State Department are currently participating in mosque restoration and refurbishing programs in Egypt, Afghanistan, and other Muslim nations.

The National Black Pro-life Coalition is a network of Pro- Life and Pro-Family organizations representing thousands of people. We are committed to restoring Life, Family & Hope and maintain a strong position of nonviolence. We vigorously oppose the barbarous actions taking place these Islamic nations.

"These nations receiving US funds, are at the same time destroying churches and other sacred facilities. Muslim clerics in these same nations in 2012 urged their congregations to protest the release of the video "Innocence of Muslims" and defend Islam. Many of these protests have turned to violence against their Christian neighbors," said Pastor Stephen Broden, founding member of the NBPLC and President of Stop The Persecution of Christians.

"I believe the American people should stand up and demands that all State Department funding of Muslim nations who are persecuting Christians be suspended immediately."
